Intermolecular olefin hydroamination was studied by various Lewis acids. The results of ZrCl 4 , FeCl 3 , BiCl 3 , and AlCl 3 catalyzed reactions of norbornene with aromatic amines were compared, and BiCl 3 was found to be the most effective catalyst to give high yields for various amines, whereas ZrCl 4 could promote the reactions at relatively low temperatures. The FeCl 3 catalyzed reactions were the most chemoselective and excellent yields could be achieved for certain amines by using AlCl 3 . A carbocation mechanism was proposed, and the controllable syntheses of allylamine and tetrahydroquinoline from isoprene and 2,5‐dichloroaniline were achieved by application of this mechanism.
